the place is a very affordable for desserts. their bingsoo is very good. I love the texture of it. It's very soft and melts in your mouth so quickly without the brain freeze. they have a lot of options and I like that they have a lot of asian flavors as well. food: strawberry bingsoo: 5/5 better when the strawberries are in season. mango sticky rice bingsoo: 5/5 better when the mangos are in season. croffle: 4/5 the flavor was good it still retained some of the flakiness of the croissant in a waffle form. service: the service is fine I don't have much to say. Ambiance: a nice late night spot. can get kind of loud depending on how loud the people in the store are talking. very chill and relaxing. Many of my friends and I choose this dessert house because it is usually open pretty late and is a great place to chat about life and catch up.

I've been here a few times already and it's a decent spot for late night desserts. There's some seats inside to dine-in, but it's a small cafe. I tried their green tea roti and it did satisfy my green tea sweet craving, however, it was my least favorite dessert we got that night. My favorite dessert we ordered was their Salted Egg Custard Toasted. The salted egg custard sauce is delicious and pairs well with the warm toast and cold ice cream. I recommend trying this dessert!

Cute place. We enjoyed a black crepe filled with Thai tea iced cream and whipped cream, served with Thai tea sauce and Oreo crumbles topped with egg yolk strands for chew.

I came here on Christmas Eve to try out their desserts, and I must say they are delicious! If you are looking to enjoy a nice mix of ice cream, bingsu, crepes, toast, or savory Thai dishes, this is your place. A plus is the spot and food are cute for taking photos of as well. Interior/Vibes: This place is a bit small in size, but it has a cozy and cute ambiance to go with friends and family. One con is there is a limited waiting area inside. I found a stool to sit on near one of the tables and you can sorta get by sitting on a bench near the front door inside. Wait Time: Holidays are usually more packed than usual, and I waited around 20 minutes for a party of 3. Food Ordered: - Cha-Thai Roti: Fried roti served with Thai tea sauce and Thai tea ice cream - Melon Snow, aka shaved ice/bingsu - Milk shaved ice served with fresh melon, vanilla ice cream, toasted almonds, and melon sauce These desserts are shareable in size even for a group of 3. The Cha-Thai Roti is one of my favorites, especially if you enjoy Thai tea. The roti comes hot and crispy alongside the ice cream; you get a hit of both hot, cold, and crunch all in a bite. The Thai tea sauce can be a little overpowering in Thai tea flavor, but if you can't get enough Thai tea, this is the dessert for you. I enjoyed the melon snow for the fact that it wasn't overly sweet; the vanilla ice cream paired well with the fresh melons as well. I tried the melon syrup provided on the side. But when trying it on its own, I found it too sweet, so I opted out of including it on the shaved ice.

5/26/24 Came here with 4 other coworkers for dessert. It's a pretty small interior. The inside is cutely decorated. We had to wait for about 15 minutes outside since there's no room to wait inside. Here's what we got to share: - ovaltine roti - salted egg custard toast - double strawberry bingsu Between the three we got to share, my favorite was the bingsu. Even though it was a cold evening, it was refreshing to eat. I don't normally eat nor like salted egg, but it worked well with the vanilla ice cream and toast. My least favorite was the ovaltine roti. When I was eating it, I inhaled the ovaltine dust(?) and choked on it. I'm used to eating roti that is usually savory and I didn't like the taste of the ovaltine with it. Overall, the desserts are mostly IG picture worthy and there's a variety of desserts you can get. In terms of parking, I had parked at the restaurant we ate prior and then we walked about 10 minutes to NaYa.

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this place yet, despite coming here so many times! I've tried several desserts, including the bingsu, honey toast, and crepes, and everything has always been delicious. On this visit, we had the charcoal crepe filled with whipped cream and Thai tea ice cream, and it was absolutely amazing! I also ordered a hot milk and it was tasty! The service was wonderful, and our dessert came out super quickly. We were lucky to get a table without waiting, but be prepared for a long line if you visit during busy times. This spot is definitely worth it!

One of my go to dessert places whenever i'm in the city! It's a little small and the wait time can be sometimes long but it's definitely worth it. We ordered the Double Strawberry Bingsu, Mango Sticky Rice Crepe, and Thai Tea Toasted! My favorite was definitely the Thai Tea toasted as I love Thai Tea flavored desserts! The sticky rice is also another go to item for me as well as it was very sweet, ripe, and pairs amazingly with the sweet sticky rice! We went here after dinner so it was late at night so there was a bit of a wait. Once we got seated they took our orders and we got our desserts within 5 minutes! The workers were very nice as well! The place is pretty small and compact but it was not too much of a problem.

Very cute dessert cafe with amazing desserts. We went to hotpot and then walked over to NaYa for dessert! We got the Thai Ice cream, grass jelly with brown sugar and the durian bingsu. Everything was amazing and great service!
